isbjorn Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 Hi. Ive just remounted my head after a renovation and are having some problems starting the car. The engine rotates fine manually and all valves and pistons should be in the same positions as when I demounted her. When I turn the ignition to the first step I get a fast blink of the dashboard lights and a quick click sound ( like a relay around the fuel regulator) then everything dies. I don't really know why, everything should be in its right places and plugged in. What kind of checks do the td5 do when ignition is turned on? thanks for any suggestions..

western Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 have you reset/checked the valve/rocker arm gaps ? bled the fuel system ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isbjorn Posted September 16, 2011 Author Share Posted September 16, 2011 nope. I havent done either of them . To bleed the fuel system i need the pump to start working and it dont. It should start at ignition pos 1 but then we have the error described above. I haven't reset the rocker arm, didn't think that was needed. And does the td5 really check the gap when just turning on the ignition? Im not even trying to rotate the engine, just get the first pos of ignition working. That is getting the diesel pump to run and the dashboard to lighten up... thanks for the heads up on the rocker arm thou. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

western Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 so what was the problem then ? you can't leave us wondering Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isbjorn Posted September 17, 2011 Author Share Posted September 17, 2011 Its to stupid to say... My main battery was running empty at 6volt. And that caused the problems... Didn't really notice it was empty becouse all the aux stuff was on the second batt and I was stressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
